Congress members move to override Supreme Court ruling on pesticide protections
U.S. lawmakers are introducing legislation to override a Supreme Court ruling that limits consumer lawsuits against pesticide companies. The proposed amendment to FIFRA, called the People Over Poison Act, aims to restore the ability of individuals to sue companies for failing to warn about health risks. The ruling primarily benefits Bayer and Syngenta, which face numerous lawsuits over products like Roundup.
